Top Lough Tay Hotel Reviews

Keavans Port

Keavans Port

8/10 Good
"This property is a little different, like some row houses merged together to one hotel. The south entrance has the lobby to the left, and the north entrance is for the bar. Between the two on the ground floor are a few staircases up, one elevator, and a series of public rooms with tables for ordering food by phone. The room itself was fine, but I finally figured out the floor slopes from the window wall towards the door, especially near the he bathroom (I measured - don't blame the Guinness!). If you are a light sleeper, keep in mind our floor 2 windows face the street and were single pane, so we heard bars closing and commuters to work pretty well without earplugs. Landmark tavern a few blocks north was nice for dinner, as was the Duke near Grafton st. For something different and near the hotel, Sprezzatura had very fresh pasta. Walking is not bad, but the LEAP pass was great. Bus 80 from Heuston station and 16 from the airport stop right near the hotel. The green tram is 2 blocks east."
